Of course I'm not Sleepy

Logic is circular... takes as much faith as that one might have in a God. I'm an nonlogicist. We don't do that nonsense 'round these parts.

Takes as much faith as that one might have in a God.. says the Deist? Why don't you have faith in logic? Ironically, it makes perfect sense for you not to have the same faith in logic because this is in fact illogical and inconsistent with your values.

I can only conclude your world view is solipsism.

Quote:Geewiz! Then why should I believe anything you write has any bearing on anything if it isn't grounded on any reasoning whatsoever? That's not a very convincing thing to say just before you delve into logical arguments about why reality is in my mind.

Woosh.

As for why you should believe anything I write: I'm always right. Except when I'm not. Which is on Saturday Smile

Quote:Ask a surgeon to insert a stapler into your mind, then get back to me, if possible.

Done, she said sure. It feels almost like licorice in the mind Heart

* Violet Lilly Blossom eats the stapler.

Quote:Because neurons aren't part of space, and mental activity occurs in some separate non-spacey realm of anti-spaciness which metaphysically takes up no space.

The neurons making up the concept are different to the particles making up the object.

Quote:Maybe the cosmos does have intrinsic properties. I highly doubt that you're advanced enough to find these... I know we're not. Anyway, given that you might well have created the entirety of the universe you see: you might end up killing yourself with your mind, and never even seeing it coming XD I recommend not stepping into traffic in this persistent world of yours.

It's not mine. I can't seem to control what I apparently created. Odd, isn't it?

Quote:Silly boy, thinking 'brain' and 'mind' are the same thing ROFLOL The mind is in the brain, but the mind is not the brain. All of your objects are concepts Smile

So the object is "inside" my brain/mind, but yet outside since it doesn't occupy the same physical space as my brain/mind?

Quote:Because I'm a hedonist, sonny. I'm totally down with this all being a nonsensical illusion of an american teenager: I'm having a good time Smile If it ends abruptly once they awaken, well... it's been good fellas.

But you see: I have faith that the world persists outside of myself, and also faith that said world includes more persons than I. However, I note that this is faith on my part, and accept that solipsism is correct in remaining true to logic (a thing which even they must take on faith).

Dammit Descartes... this thing is inescapable.

Sure, I mean if you wanted me to concede that I need faith in order to believe reality isn't in my mind, then I happily concede that. Being a Free Thinker, I do actually want to find the evidence/reasons for why the world does indeed exist outside our minds... Angry

Hah! I'm honestly starting to think philosophy is becoming an unhealthy obsession in my life though...

Where can I find these so-called 'interesting issues', he's raised? Thinking
